3 DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVELOPE SEALING MACHINE
3.1 General information
The fully automated Envelope Sealing Machine series „TAURUS (IR/C)“ seals all
standard envelopes with the format C6/5 to C5 as well as C4 Pocket envelopes
with flaps on the longer side both cleanly and quickly.
This machine allows for swift handling of your outgoing post, thanks to the as-
tounding closing mechanism. It is easy to install and use even in the smallest
spaces. The automatic functioning means you only have to tie the letter piles af-
ter they have been sealed. No manual opening of the flaps, handling or pressing
of the letter piles is necessary.
3.2 Description of functions
A large water reservoir with a controlled water level and automatic level regula-
tor make sure there is a smooth supply of water to the moistening tank. The mo-
istening roller is self-cleaning and the moisture level is variable.
The speed is adjustable from 0-100% using the knob.
4 SET UP
4.1 Transportation / moving
When moving the Envelope Sealing Machine first of all you must remove the wa-
ter reservoir and empty it of water with the suction rubber pear.
Remove the format slide from the machine and place both supplied support pins
in the format slide guide. Make sure the machine is supported by these pins.
Place the basin at the front between the underside and conveyor belt with bubble
wrap or something similar.
Whenever possible use the original packaging when moving or transporting.

4.2 Using the envelope sealing machine
1. The Envelope Sealing Machine must be placed on a level and solid base. The
boxes must be placed on the surface.
2. The Envelope Sealing Machine must be connected to an earthed outlet (2-pin
plus earth) 230VAC or 115VAC according to the type plate.
When setting up, the machine must always be turned off
(the warning light must not be blinking!)
3. The machine can be centered by adjusting the two rear machine feet using
circular level on the basin.
4. Check whether the circular level has moved. If necessary, adjust the machi-
ne feet again.
5. The transparent water reservoir must be filled with tap water. If the tank we-
re to tip over quickly the valve closes off the water.
In hard water areas add 4 to 5 drops of cleaning fluid. This
way you will have a equally smooth and spot-free liquid!
6. The moistening basin should be topped up to the limit and the water reser-
voir (neck down) inserted into this position inside the ring of the moistening
basin until the neck completely rests inside.
7. The water must now reach the top of the moistening roller. Check for the op-
timal wetness manually when turning the moistening roller.
8. The correct amount of water will now automatically be supplied to
the moistening roller from the transparent water reservoir (vacuum
effect!)
The suction rubber pear is used to check the water level
and to empty the moisture basin.
When carrying out maintenance or moving the machine, the wa
ter basin and reservoir must be completely emptied.
9. The moisture basin must be topped up and the water reservoir taken out of
the ring-shaped holder .

10. The rest of the water in the moistening tank can be sucked out via the suc
tion rubber pear through the ring-shaped hole and the moisture basin water
level will slowly go down.
In this way the water compartment is shut off and the
machine parts connected to electric power cannot come
into contact.
11. Take out the support pins from the format slide and insert the format slide
in both guides.
4.3 Power supply
The operating voltage required is as specified below:
100...120VAC/60Hz and 200...240VAC/50Hz
The switching power supply has been pre-selected by the
factory!
Always take notice of the type plate on the left side of the
Envelope Sealing Machine!
